    .@BretBaier is getting unwarranted flak tonight for siding with CNN and other news organizations protesting heavy-handed WH efforts to retaliate against @kaitlancollins for doing her job. He deserves praise for demonstrating solidarity in behalf of a free press.

    Today is a sad anniversary, four years since we lost Gwen Ifill, whose incomparable voice was stilled at exactly the wrong moment. Her spirit lives and inspires us all to carry on in her memory. We are all blessed to have known her. Miss you, Gwen.

    In his CNN town hall, @PeteButtigieg highlights the value of listening to questioners and responding with clarity and depth. Q and A on a high plain. Refreshing.

    I’m very glad @Yamiche is always ready with the right question at the right moment and stands her ground no matter who. Just like our friend Gwen, who would be very proud of her.

    Today the White House retaliated against CNN’s @kaitlancollins for doing her job—which was to ask questions of the president about news of the day. The action by WH was totally unjustified and outrageous.

    From @JoeBiden's remarks: "The original sin of this country still stains our nation today and sometimes we manage to overlook it. We just push forward with a thousand other tasks in our daily life. But it's always there."
